It's commonly believed the blue and white of the BMW logo represents a spinning propeller due to the companies history building airplane engines. The colors actually represent the colors of the Bavarian flag.

In fairness, they didn't help matters by using that very image (the roundel merged with a spinning prop) in one of their own adverts in the 20s.

The mid 90s Mazda logo is actually called Ahura's flame and is based on some zoroastrian stuff that I won't look up now but I'm sure is on Wikipedia.

If this doesn't count since I didn't drive anywhere I apologize but hey not often you get to use the big propeller sitting in the living room for something.

I so had this one in the bag (so I thought).

Can I at least have a point for creativity?

So the Toyota logo is some corporate baloney about unity that doesn't have a direct namesake.... But apparently some people say it looks like a guy wearing a sombrero.

Unfortunately, I don't own a sombrero.

Well, lucky for you, sombrero is a Spanish word, and it means 'hat'. Only we dirty gringo's refer to that one specific type of hat as a sombrero. I bet you own a hat.

You are correct but I think it needs to be the sort of hat that a gringo refers to as a sombrero.

As an example, if you have a Pontiac GTO and you have a Holden Monaro as the toy car that is good to go. Badge engineering is a go.

I honestly figured this one would be met within minutes so I didn't bother moving my lazy arse out of my chair to do it... but what the hell, have some shoes. Also, I really need to wash my car.
